The best transfer announcement videos in football history
The days of transfers were revealed with pictures of players holding a scarf above their head are long gone. Modern football's new phenomenon is transfer announcement videos. Clubs compete for the biggest and best announcements, with social media teams battling to outdo each other with innovative ideas. With the transfer window in full swing, we've remembered some of the very best transfer announcements. The best transfer announcement videos in football history Paul Pogba to Manchester United (2016) Paul Pogba became world football's most expensive footballer when rejoining Manchester United in 2016. The announcement video was perfectly Pogba, as the extroverted midfielder unveiled his dance moves alongside Manchester United fan and British music superstar Stormzy. Sure, certain no-nonsense midfielders of a bygone era (Yes, Graeme Souness, we're talking to you) would prefer to see Pogba introduce himself to the fans with a thudding challenge, rather than dancing and dabbing, but this is a new generation. A perfect cocktail of cultures colliding. Gianluca Scamacca to West Ham (2022) For fans of a certain vintage, Football Italia holds a special place in the heart. At a time when Serie A homed the world's finest footballers, UK fans tuned in to get a glimpse of the action. West Ham chose to honour their star signing from Serie A with a tribute to the iconic show. However, it was hastily withdrawn and re-posted after the Hammers spelt Scamacca's name wrong on the original release… Diego Costa to Wolves (2022) At his best, Diego Costa was a snarling presence ,unafraid to bulldoze a route through Premier League defences. Wolves agreed a deal to bring the former Chelsea forward back to the Premier League in 2022, with their transfer announcement featuring Costa holding the chains to a pack of wolves. A fearsome sight. Wout Weghorst to Burnley (2022) Burnley have become masters of the announcement video with no shortage of memorable montages from the Clarets. Our favourite was this video to introduce new signing Wout Weghorst in 2022. What better way to announce the signing of a new 6ft 6in striker? Erling Haaland to Manchester City (2022) Sometimes the best announcements are simple. Erling Haaland recreated a childhood photo of him in a Manchester City shirt as the Citizens landed the statement signing of the Norwegian goal machine in 2022. Victor Osimhen to Galatasaray (2025) Who's that behind the mask? Victor Osimhen became arguably the Turkish Süper Lig's biggest ever signing last summer, with Galatasaray creating a masquerade ball introduction for the masked goal-getter.

Randal Kolo Muani is on loan from PSG, but Juventus will hold talks with the Ligue 1 giants to extend the French striker's stay at the club beyond the summer. NAPLES, ITALY – MAY 11: Victor Osimhen of SSC Napoli stands disappointed during the Serie A match between SSC Napoli and Bologna FC at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on May 11, 2024 in Naples, Italy.

When Cremonese will announce Nicola as new coach
When Cremonese will announce Nicola as new coach Cremonese are expected to formally announce Davide Nicola as their new coach on Monday, after he terminated his contract with Cagliari. Football Italia had already confirmed the choice was made to appoint Nicola for the side that just earned promotion to the top flight via the Serie B play-offs. Advertisement According to Tuttomercatoweb and La Provincia di Cremona local newspaper, a statement will only be released on Monday June 30. This is just 24 hours before the transfer window opens and they can begin planning for the future. Cremonese begun again with Nicola LA SPEZIA, ITALY – JUNE 1: Manuel De Luca of US Cremonese celebrates after scoring a goal during the Serie B match between Spezia Calcio and US Cremonese Serie B Play-off Final at Stadio Alberto Picco on June 1, 2025 in La Spezia, Italy. (Photo by) Despite securing their place in Serie A, the club decided to part company with coach Giovanni Stroppa and go for a different approach. They hope that Nicola's extraordinary record of avoiding the drop even against the odds can serve them well next season. He managed to upset predictions by keeping Crotone, Genoa, Salernitana and Empoli in Serie A, often with late comebacks and dramatic victories. That included Cagliari this term, but they promoted youth team boss Fabio Pisacane to the main role.
